Two little kids went out to play

In their backyard one summer day.

They gazed at cotton candy sky,

And argued as the clouds sailed by.

"There goes a fluffy sheep!" Tim cried,

As Kimmy scrutinized the sky.

"I do not see a sheep," she said.

"I see a flock of birds, instead."

"How lovely are the birds!" said he.

"Look there's a swarm of bumble bees,

And there goes a train, a foot long!"

"Oh no brother, you are so wrong."

"Pesky Kimmy, don't be a pain,

'Cos you are driving me insane.

Go away and leave me alone

To just imagine on my own!"

"Okay then, I'll leave you alone,

But when you see a shape unknown,

Do not go screaming out to me,

'Cos I won't tell you what I see."

"Leave me alone and let me be,

I don't need you to play with me!"

Feeling lonely, she blurted out,

"If you need me just give a shout!"
